Abstract
Lead zirconate titanate nanoislands were obtained by a self-patterning method making use of the instability of ultrathin films during high-temperature treatments. After high-temperature annealing, the as-deposited film breaks into islands with a narrow size distribution. The single-crystal nanoislands were studied by scanning and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and x-ray diffraction. They show an epitaxial relationship with the Nb-doped (001) SrTiO3 substrate. The ferroelectric switching of several individual islands was investigated by piezoresponse force microscopy.
